What Houzz contributors are saying:

Here's a favorite quote from Design Through Discovery (Bevlin) on texture, which this open-air living room exemplifies: "Rough textures ... have a warmth about them that makes most people feel at ease — the kinds of textures found in brick and stone, uneven wall surfaces, and in thick carpets and nubby draperies."Rough textures abound here: rustic wood for the fireplace mantel and exposed beams; woven wicker furniture, irregular brick pavers and mortared stone for the fireplace and walls. All of these surfaces are natural and comforting.

They are antique terra cotta pavers. Though antique, they aren't too difficult to find generally. They are set like tile, and come in a range of colors from light buff to deep orange yellow, and in a variety of sizes. Antique Chicago brick can provide a similar look.
